Guys

I had my heart set on Hankook Tyres but I'm having problems sourcing them in 275/45/20

I've been offered General Grabber UHP but I don't anything about these

Any suggestions would b great

Thanks
Neil

Why not have a look at the Vredestein Sessanta range??

Camskill have them on offer at £209

Neil,

Have a chat with Andy at AJS 4x4 Tyres, they must be quite local to you (J8 M25) and are site sponsors on the D3 forum No pressure advice and very competitive

I've just spoken to him and it's look like I'll be going to see him on sat he has pointed me toward the general grabbers uhp to

Thanks

Neil,

Andy's a very helpful chap - He has sorted Pirelli ATR's for the wifes D3 and only a couple of weeks ago some OEM tyres for my FFRR

You should be able to "touchy feely" too as he has many brands normally in stock and will give you the Pro's and Con's for each but in my experience will never push you towards a particular make

275/45 is too small for the ffrr , it should be a 255/50 , 265/50 or 275/50.

The 45 profile is for the sport. V8 or else ...

45 profile in the 275 width is almost the same as 255/50 sidewall depth, the rolling radius will be almost the same, they are fine. This size is the nearest to 255/50/20 you will get with a diameter of 29.7" as opposed to 30" with the std size.

255 in a 45 profile would be too small though. 275/50's will fit, will slightly raise gearing of the car, slightly decrease acceleration, slightly increase top speed and may catch on full articulation, unless you use wheels with greater off set.

I have a few friends running GG AT's in 275/45/20's on a FFRR as winter tyres without any problems except slightly more road noise.

Happy days I managed to track down 4 hankook Ventus Tyres for 135 a corner

Fisha ur quite right but I'm gonna b running sport alloys and as Vogue said the 275/45/20 is the closest ill get to a stock 20 setup

bargain pickies when you get them ??

will do

As promised
